30-Minute Rice Noodle Soup Recipe with Mushrooms & Kale

I wish I could say that I’m one of those people who has my meal plan for the coming week beautifully laid out by Sunday evening, ready for an efficient, once a week (ha!) trip to the grocery store.

*Pop* Dream over.

In reality, it’s 5pm on a weekday and I have no flippin’ idea what I’m making for dinner. If I’m lucky, I may have thought to defrost some chicken or salmon earlier in the day, or picked up some ground turkey or pork chops during my all-too-regular grocery runs.

And then there are the times when I’m not even organized enough to defrost or purchase (humor me and tell me I’m not the only one!) At that point, a mad scrabble through the pantry ensues. For those of us who are organizationally challenged, a well-stocked pantry is a necessity. Well, unless your family is okay with eating sandwiches or scrambled eggs every night. That would never happen in my house.

(Hark, how large thou nose doth grow!)

One of our pantry staples is rice noodles, either for soups like this one or one of our favorite dinners, Rice Noodles with Chicken, Asparagus & Soy Ginger Sauce. Either dish takes only 20 to 30 minutes to prepare, but I look like a rock star because my family thinks that rice noodles are from heaven.

This soup is one of those meals that will warm you to your toes, without being too heavy. Because the broth is so light, I happily eat this at any time of year. If you have leftovers, you may need to add a little more broth when you reheat the soup, as the noodles tend to absorb the liquid the longer they rest.

    I am so unorganized too with meal planning. I have good intentions, but I never follow through, and my family is the same. They’ll settle for fancy salads, but not sandwiches or breakfast for dinner. I think we’ve spoiled our families πŸ™‚

    Yeah, you would think being a food blogger I would always have dinner planned out and on the table in a timely manner and in high fashion but no. Usually I’m exhausted from work and the darlings and am scrabbling for something edible. I love, love, love the flavors and simplicity of this soup! Thanks for sharing Dara!

    I know as well about the all too regular grocery runs! I try to have a white board with my very loose menu plan so at least I get the meat needed to defrost, it’s all dependent though on the kids and activities but I try to plan accordingly. Love an easy meal like this!

    Oh yes, in my dreams the meal plan is set by Saturday night and I go shopping on Sunday for the entire week. Hahaha is mostly does not work out like that in this house either – if I am good I plan two days ahead but a lot of times its scrambling and pasta alio e aglio since my kids despise scrambled eggs πŸ™‚

    Love this fantastic soup – it has everything in it my family (and I ) love

    Ha, it’s like you are writing about me. I never meal plan, it’s so bad, I always wing it. This soup though, it’s perfect when you are in a pinch!

    This soup is gorgeous! Utterly gorgeous. There are times when I’m super organized in the kitchen and with what I’m planning on cooking, and then there are times I’m completely clueless and lazy. Tonight I’m clueless and lazy. Wish I had the ingredients on hand to make this soup. I’d totally love this tonight!

    Oh, what to make for dinner on a cold, rainy night? This soup is the answer! I made this tonight and it is so wonderful. I actually found the brown rice noodles at Walmart (much to my surprise). I almost bought them on at Amazon for a whopping $10 a box! I’m so happy didn’t. I paid $2.99 a box at Walmart. Thank you for sharing. I will be making this recipe again!
